Input data and code supporting the cod_v2 population estimates

The <strong><em>model.zip</em></strong> file contains input data and code supporting the cod_v2 population estimates. The file<strong> <em>modelData.RData</em></strong> provides the input data to the JAGS model and the file<em> <strong>modelCode.R</strong></em> contains the source code for the model in the JAGS language. The files can be used to run the model for further assessments and as a starting point for further model development. The data and the model were developed using the statistical software <strong>R version 4.0.2</strong> (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/old/4.0.2) and <strong>JAGS 4.3.0</strong> (https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io), a program for analysis of Bayesian graphical models using Gibbs sampling, through the R package <strong>runjags 2.2.0</strong> (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/runjags).
